Description
Carries on from #3912 (round 5), #3854 (round 4, PR #3911), #3472 (round 3, PR #3851) and #3468 (rounds 2+), which carried on from #3266 and #3278. There is no wizard: the Eldritch Compendium is a possessed book that demands we collect the earth's cryptids, like a mob boss keeping accounts. The aliens that dropped us here fled from the forces around it, not from the book itself. More lore comes later, from the owner.
Goalpost: the Book speaks on every page
The score is how many of the ten menu surfaces carry the Book's hand (a demand or a margin line in Covered By Your Grace, signed "the Book" where it makes a demand) and its rust thumbprint. Each one has to say something true for that page, not just repeat the same line.
| Surface | Hand | Thumbprint |
|---|---|---|
| Title scroll | yes (#3453) | yes |
| Compendium: line-up | yes (header demand) | yes |
| Compendium: bestiary | yes (header demand) | yes |
| Compendium: regions | yes (header demand) | yes |
| Fight result note | yes (round 2: receipt on a bind, order on a loss, demand after an empty win) | yes |
| The Bog Witch's sheet (starters) | yes (round 3, #3851) | yes |
| Bestiary deck | yes (round 4, #3911) | yes |
| World toasts (bind, section cleared) | yes (round 5: entered + next item on a bind; section written in + next stone, arena, or the fled mythic wanted back; signed) | yes |
| Versus spread | summon lines only, not signed | yes |
| Settings card | no | no |
Score: 4/10 (target 10): 8 of the 10 surfaces, halved by the owner's reset (2026-11-05), so each new surface is worth half a point.

Add yours there.
Next, one PR per round
- Settings: one dry margin line, plus a thumbprint on the card.
- The versus spread: sign the summon lines that are demands.
A known overlap: on the very first bind, the Book's talk (the bind beat in book.ts) opens over the new toast, which fades behind it. A later round could hold the toast until the talk shuts.
Owner's call (ask, don't guess)
- Mythic Masters: the menu is a wizard's tome (and the book is secretly his contacts list) #3266's late-game secret (the book is a wizard's contacts list) came before "there is no wizard". Does it stay, change into something else, or go? The voice guide marks the phone-book double reading as on hold.
- Depth mechanics for the demands (the owner said they will add them over time). One option from Mythic Masters: the wizard himself (handwriting, name, one recurring stain) #3278 was 1C: the hand gets more scrawled the longer a demand goes unmet.

Score: 5/10 (target 10). All ten surfaces now carry the Book's hand: the Settings card (note and thumbprint) and the signed versus demands are in PR #4144. That fills this goalpost, which tops out at 5 after the halving. Moved up to #4145 (rounds 8+), which needs the owner to pick a new goalpost.
